The American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (ASA/WISHH) program brought participants from Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria and Senegal to the U.S. last week for a program titled “Applications of Soy Proteins in Meat Extension, Meat Replacement, and Structuring Technologies for Enhanced Carcass Utilization in the Meat Industry.”
The activity is funded by the USDA’s Global Broad Based Initiative (GBI), Market Access Program (MAP) and the Cochran Fellowship Program. Participants visited a family-owned meat processing plant early in the week in Utah, followed by a seminar/workshop series at Brigham Young University-Idaho (BYU-Idaho). The team then headed to St. Louis where they visited Solae, the ASA Headquarters and C.W. Gaffner’s farm in Illinois.
